Deep Water Bay (24)
Sephora Deep Water Bay (24) Lipstories Lipstick ($8.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a muted, medium-dark orange with warm, red undertones and a glossy, cream finish. The color payoff was fantastic, while the color applied evenly across my lips and helped to smooth out my lip lines. It had a lightly creamy consistency with moderate slip, but it adhered well to my lips within a few minutes and did not slide around too easily while worn. The lipstick wore well for five and a half hours on me and was lightly hydrating.

Formula Overview
$8.00/0.14 oz. - $57.14 Per Ounce
The formula is supposed to be "lightweight" with "full-coverage color in one swipe." The majority of shades were pigmented with semi-opaque to full color payoff in a single layer, as described. The more shimmery shades tended to be a bit sheerer overall, while the mattes and creams were usually closer to opaque in coverage. The textures were typically creamy, lightweight, and not too thin or too thick on the lips, so they were comfortable to apply and to wear. There were some shades where the color pulled into my deeper lip lines upon application, and it was more or less noticeable just depending on the color and finish of the particular. Some shades seemed hydrating and others were non-drying. They lasted anywhere from three to over six hours on me. There was a subtle, sweet, fruity scent (I couldn't detect it on, just in the tube), and I haven't noticed any taste after wearing them.

First Class (25)
Sephora First Class (25) Lipstories Lipstick ($8.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a bright, medium orange with warm, red undertones and a satin finish. The pigmentation was nearly opaque, but the texture seemed to separate on my lips, so it made it appear less pigmented, particularly around lip lines and any natural texture on my lips. The consistency was smooth and lightly creamy (so I did not expect any issues), so I’m not sure what caused the product to break away along my lip lines, but it did it every time I tried it (four times). It stayed on for five hours, left a stain behind, but it further settled into my lip lines over time. The formula felt neither drying nor hydrating to me.

All Washed Up (26)
Sephora All Washed Up (26) Lipstories Lipstick ($8.00 for 0.14 oz.) is a bright, medium pinky-red with cool undertones and a semi-matte finish. It had good color coverage that applied evenly across my lips. The consistency was thinner, smooth, and just had enough slip to glide on without tugging, but it was less emollient and thinner than most shades in the range. The color wore down to a true matte finish within two hours ofw ear. It lasted for six hours, left a stain behind, and was neither drying nor hydrating on me.
